Sarrazin to Test New Formula E Car

Former Venturi driver Stephane Sarrazin will return to the cockpit of a Formula E car when he undertakes the next round of development work with the next-generation car.

Testing of the ‘Gen 2’ car, revealed on Tuesday, will again be conducted by Spark Technologies, and is set to take place in Spain over the coming weeks before the first of the official manufacturer group tests at the end of March.

Sarrazin is set to continue work undertaken since September by Benoit Treluyer, Adrien Tambay, Frederic Makowiecki and Anthoine Hubert.

A succession of qualifying and race simulations is believed to be a priority for Sarrazin to complete during the tests.
